A very cold hour hour in the sea watch hide this morning, staring through the sleet at a virtually blank sea if you disregard the Cormorants. 3 parties of Starlings struggled in off the sea, a single drake Shoveler flew west as did 8 Common Scoter and that was about as good as it got. No doubt I'll be back tomorrow just in case something good appears.
One of at least 4 Chiffchaff at Bretts
When the weather cleared I had a wander around Bretts Marina, hoping to find a lingering sprite among the Tit flocks, but I was out of luck.
Owen discovered 2 White-fronted Geese among c200 Greylag Geese at Dengemarsh
Another visit early afternoon to the sand pit found the lone Bewick Swan still present with a mixed flock of Greylag, Canada and Egyptian Geese, also c100 Golden Plover present but little else.
The Starling murmuration at the ARC was again popular, the first birds usually arrive just before 16.00 by 16.20 it is pretty much over, at least 3 Bitterns showed this evening and 10+ Great White Egrets roosted.
